[[Clan Star Adder]] developed the heavy lasers to deal more damage, but the side effect of that was increased heat output. In addition, interference with a [[BattleMech]]'s sensors means that a '''Heavy Medium Laser''' is penalized with a +1 to-hit modifier.
Introduced in [[3059]] by [[Clan Star Adder]] developed the heavy lasers to deal more damage, but the side effect of that was increased heat output. In addition, a subtle firing delay and interference with a [[BattleMech]]'s sensors means that the weapon suffers from poor accuracy.<ref name="TMp226">''TechManual'', p. 226, "Lasers"</ref>

The Clan Star Adder–developed Series 6A heavy medium laser is noted as matching the damage output, though not the range or accuracy, of the venerable [[Inner Sphere]] [[Parti-Kill Heavy Cannon|Parti-Kill PPC]] in a dramatically smaller package.<ref name=TMp227>''TechManual'', p. 227 "Laser - Heavy Lasers"</ref>
